She then announce she will not step down. What should we do at next month meeting.A few questions...-Do your bylaws say anything about how to remove the President from office?-Do your bylaws provide that officers shall serve for a certain period of time "or until their successors are elected?"-Was previous notice given of the motion to remove the President from office?-Was there a 2/3 vote in favor of the motion to remove the President from office?

Guest Curious Posted October 12, 2015 at 07:26 PM Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 at 07:26 PM Did the president announce the result before you let her end the meeting? Was the vote counted or taken by ballot? If neither is true, then I don't think the motion carried and she is still President. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gödel Fan Posted October 12, 2015 at 10:09 PM Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 at 10:09 PM Also, why did you let the President adjourn the meeting, apparently without a motion, with business pending? Unless, of course, the building was on fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Curious Posted October 13, 2015 at 12:17 AM Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 at 12:17 AM Probably for the same reason people let presidents get away with setting agendas, stifling debate and canceling meetings: they are following the dictatorial model of commerce instead of parliamentary procedure.

jstackpo Posted October 13, 2015 at 01:50 AM Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 at 01:50 AM And to point out the formal parliamentary consequence of the "early adjournment"..... Since at the moment the president (improperly) adjourned the meeting, the announcement of the results of the vote had not been made, the processing of the "Removal" motion had not been completed, thus the motion was still pending when the meeting adjourned. The job of finishing dealing with the pending motion is supposed to come up automatically under "unfinished business" at the next meeting, p. 358 (a). 'Course, the president is conveniently likely to "forget" that, but I'm sure that an alert member will remind her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
